| .SH NAME |
| pthread_kill_other_threads_np \- terminate all other threads in process |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| .B #include <pthread.h> |
| |
| .B void pthread_kill_other_threads_np(void); |
| .fi |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .BR pthread_kill_other_threads_np () |
| has an effect only in the LinuxThreads threading implementation. |
| On that implementation, |
| calling this function causes the immediate termination of |
| all threads in the application, |
| except the calling thread. |
| The cancellation state and cancellation type of the |
| to-be-terminated threads are ignored, |
| and the cleanup handlers are not called in those threads. |
| .\" .SH VERSIONS |
| .\" Available since glibc 2.0 |
| .SH ATTRIBUTES |
| For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see |
| .BR attributes (7). |

| .SH CONFORMING TO |
| This function is a nonstandard GNU extension; |
| hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in the name. |
| .SH NOTES |
| .BR pthread_kill_other_threads_np () |
| is intended to be called just before a thread calls |
| .BR execve (2) |
| or a similar function. |
| This function is designed to address a limitation in the obsolete |
| LinuxThreads implementation whereby the other threads of an application |
| are not automatically terminated (as POSIX.1-2001 requires) during |
| .BR execve (2). |
| |
| In the NPTL threading implementation, |
| .BR pthread_kill_other_threads_np () |
| exists, but does nothing. |
| (Nothing needs to be done, |
| because the implementation does the right thing during an |
| .BR execve (2).) |

| .BR pthread_cancel (3), |
| .BR pthread_setcancelstate (3), |
| .BR pthread_setcanceltype (3), |
